What’s new: Meta’s recent demo of its AI-powered smart glasses at the Connect conference faced significant technical issues, including a resource overload that caused the AI assistant to malfunction during a cooking demonstration. The Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, explained that the problems were due to multiple devices being activated simultaneously, overwhelming the system, and a rare bug that caused the display to go dark during a video call. Despite these issues, the smart glasses themselves are fully functional.
Who’s affected
Developers and users of Meta’s smart glasses may experience challenges related to the integration of AI features and potential bugs during live demonstrations or real-world usage.
What to do
- Monitor updates from Meta regarding fixes and improvements to the smart glasses’ AI features.
- Prepare for potential technical issues during live demos or initial deployments of the technology.
- Consider the implications of resource management when deploying AI-powered devices in environments with multiple connected units.
